This is not a glare from the sun, nor is it an artifact of the photo process." - UFO Sightings Daily, talking about an image taken on Mars by Curiosity that shows a mysterious light on the planet. UFO enthusiasts are lighting up the Internet with talk of the photo, but NBC News said a photo taken by the rover's left camera doesn't show the same light and that the image is just a photo imperfection.
